6 * It's obviously not thread-safe. Sue me. But it's quite
7 * useful for doing things like
9 * f = open(mkpath("%s/%s.git", base, name), O_RDONLY);
11 * which is what it's designed for.

179 * (2) "~user/path" to mean path under named user's home directory;
180 * (3) "relative/path" to mean cwd relative directory; or
181 * (4) "/absolute/path" to mean absolute directory.
183 * Unless "strict" is given, we try access() for existence of "%s.git/.git",
184 * "%s/.git", "%s.git", "%s" in this order. The first one that exists is
185 * what we try.
187 * Second, we try chdir() to that. Upon failure, we return NULL.
189 * Then, we try if the current directory is a valid git repository.
190 * Upon failure, we return NULL.
192 * If all goes well, we return the directory we used to chdir() (but
193 * before ~user is expanded), avoiding getcwd() resolving symbolic
194 * links. User relative paths are also returned as they are given,
195 * except DWIM suffixing.
